Network Function Virtualization: Where are we now?

During the inaugural VNF Management & Orchestration Conference in Barcelona (28-29, April in Barcelona), IIR took the opportunity to gauge the opinions of the room during a number of live polling sessions.

Hosted by ACG Research’s Paul Parker-Johnson and Overture’s Prayson Pate, the questions brought to lightsome interesting opinions, and certainly encouraged lively debate from both the panellists and the audience themselves!

Here, with the assistance of Qualisystem’s Vice-President Marketing Alex Henthorn-Iwane we’ll attempt to delve deeper into the landscape of Next Generation Networks, but also to sit back and assess where we actually are in terms of development and evolution. Ultimately, we need to understand what we have actually achieved.
